Barrett Jackson and brains?

Fun to see the cars at these Auctions. I have been to Kruse in Auburn but not the really big stuff. Watching and Hearing the prices they sell for I just wonder what they say when they wake up from their Buying spree with a double priced car in the morning. Kind of like Vette prices at some of the local dealers showrooms...

I see many of the same faces every year at every auction.

Some people have way more money than most of us can imagine.

They can spend it anyway they like and lots of people make money off it.

America .....Capitalism is good for some.....not as good for the rest of us....I am not jealous and don't think they are stupid or foolish....They will die just like the rest of us and all their "stuff" will go to someone else and probably at a lot less money....

There are more rich people in the U.S. now, than ever before.

A few years back some nut bid $75000 on an Amphicar!!!!! I wondered the exact same thing- like that movie "The Hangover'

I can't afford the header tether requirement cost, let alone a "Barrett Jackson" car..... ;-)

I watched an hour or so of the auction. Some of the prices just baffled me. If you wanted an original, rare, desireable musclecar, forget it. They were getting bid WAY beyond any reasonable amount. Yet on the other hand, if you were looking for a top-shelf street/strip car without any pedigree, it was a buyers market. When Rod Saboury's 'Vette only got $180k, I turned it off. You guys that have built cars from the ground up will appreciate the amount of $$$$$ into this car.

It runs high 6's in the 1/4 and can be street driven. I'm sure he took a huge loss on the sale of it.
